Maybelline recently launched its gel eye liner in Australia which can be found in most drug stores. I was really surprised that this product was launched in Asia first and it took a while before it start selling in western countries. I purchased mine a while ago when it first launched in China. At that point MAC and Bobbi Brown’s gel eye liner were huge. However the expensive price stopped some including me.
I was so excited when Maybelline launched their gel eye liner. It was around ￥90 Yuan, approximately $16aud which is half the price of MAC and Bobbi Brown’s. And it includes a brush as well. The gel eye liner was really good itself and I have always believed in Maybelline introducing promising products. However the brush was the main thing that amazed me. Normally with products like this, the additional tools are often useless. Such as the sponge given in powders, brushes given in blushes. But this brush is an exception. The person who designed this brush is a genius! The small brush head is flat on both side and goes sideways. It is perfect for both thick and thin lines. And the fur isn’t too soft which gives the strength to draw a perfect clean line. It is easy to carry it around as well. This brush isn’t only good for this product, I use it for my MAC eye shadows when drawing lines which the harshness.
I would definitely recommend this for people who which to give gel eye liner a try and for beginners as well. Personally I think this is as good as those highly priced gel eye liner or maybe even better. It is even under $20aud, if it is not suitable for you, wouldn’t feel too much a waste comparing to a $90aud spent on high end brand’s product.
